Taiwan Expo USA 2026 returns to Dallas this September for its second consecutive year, marking another step forward in U.S.-Taiwan relations and Taiwan’s growing economic and technology ties with Texas. Free and open to the public, the three-day event will take place September 24–26 at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, with registration now open for business, B2B matchmaking, and public attendees.

Building on its inaugural Dallas edition, this year’s Expo brings together leaders across business, government, technology, economic development, alongside culture and community, through three days of industry dialogue, exhibitions, networking, and public experiences. Programming includes the 2026 Taiwan-U.S. Industry Collaboration Forum, eight innovation zones spanning sectors central to the U.S.-Taiwan economic relationship, and an opening ceremony featuring cultural and artistic performances.

This year’s theme, “Ignite the Future,” reflects the Expo’s evolution from creating connections to advancing real-world collaboration. Taiwan and U.S. partners are deepening cooperation across AI, advanced manufacturing, smart energy, healthcare, mobility, and sectors shaping the future economy.

That collaboration comes amid significant growth in the broader economic relationship. Taiwan became the United States’ fourth-largest trading partner in 2025, with bilateral trade up 61.27% year over year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In Texas alone, Taiwanese companies have committed more than $10 billion in investment, with firms including GlobalWafers, Foxconn (Hon Hai), Wistron, Inventec, Quanta, Wiwynn, Compal, UMC, and Win Semiconductors expanding their presence in the state.

“The U.S.-Taiwan relationship is moving from opening doors to building partnerships that are driving investment, innovation, and shared growth,” said TAITRA Chairman Mr. James C. F. Huang. “As cooperation deepens across AI, advanced manufacturing and resilient supply chains, Taiwan Expo USA creates a platform to turn those relationships into tangible opportunities for businesses, communities and both of our economies.”

Industry and Healthcare Forums Advance U.S.-Taiwan Collaboration

On Thursday, September 24 (1:30–4:00 PM, Main Stage), the 2026 Taiwan-U.S. Industry Collaboration Forum: Leading an Intelligent Future will bring government leaders, business executives, and economic development organizations together to examine how Taiwan and the United States can build resilient, AI-ready supply chains and deepen industry collaboration as AI transforms manufacturing and technology investment.

The Forum will explore how to build a trusted AI ecosystem and identify strategic opportunities for U.S.-Taiwan partnership, including how companies on both sides can strengthen supply chain collaboration and translate technology relationships into new investment and deployment. It will also examine how state and regional partnerships can turn cross-border cooperation into tangible economic opportunities.

On Friday, September 25 (3:05–4:00 PM, Main Stage), the Taiwan Healthcare Forum: Precision Medicine & Healthy Living will examine how Taiwan is applying AI-assisted diagnosis, smart sensing, and digital care platforms to advance clinical precision, real-time monitoring, and proactive health management.

Attendees who stay through the full Taiwan-U.S. Industry Collaboration Forum or the Taiwan Healthcare Forum will receive a special treat (while supplies last) and be entered to win a Premium Economy round-trip flight ticket between Taiwan and the U.S.

Expanded Eight-Sector Exhibition Showcases Innovations for Businesses, Communities, and Consumers

Taiwan Expo USA 2026 will expand its exhibition with three new zones — Urban Resilience, Smart Energy, and Future Mobility — joining AI Manufacturing, Intelligent Automation, Smart Healthcare, Taiwan Pulse and Taiwan Excellence. Together, the eight exhibition zones will offer a broader look at how Taiwanese innovation is addressing the needs of industry, cities, and everyday life:

  • AI Manufacturing and Intelligent Automation will highlight AI-driven manufacturing and the broader technology ecosystem supporting it, including computing infrastructure, edge intelligence, cybersecurity, and robotics.

  • Urban Resilience and Smart Energy will explore solutions for future cities, from security and connectivity to energy generation, storage, and efficiency.

  • Smart Healthcare and Future Mobility will bring AI closer to everyday life through technologies supporting diagnosis, remote care, safety sensing and smart mobility.

  • Taiwan Pulse will connect visitors with Taiwan through food, air travel, financial services, and lifestyle experiences, while the Taiwan Excellence Pavilion will showcase award-winning Taiwanese innovations.

Mid-Autumn Festival Brings a Spirit of Togetherness to the Expo

Coinciding with the Mid-Autumn Festival, one of Taiwan’s most meaningful traditions, the Expo invites the general public to explore the show floor through an interactive scavenger hunt. Attendees can collect stamps as they visit participating pavilions and redeem completed cards for limited-edition Expo merchandise, while supplies last.

Taiwan Expo USA’s second consecutive year in Dallas reflects the growing depth of U.S.-Taiwan ties, spanning technology, advanced manufacturing, investment, business partnerships, and cultural exchange. Across three days, the Expo will bring businesses, policymakers, and the public together to experience that collaboration firsthand.
